Officials: DMUSD projecting highest growth within five years

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will be bigger than it ever has been within the next five years.

At the April 22 board meeting, Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, is projecting the district will be just under

5,000 students in 2020-21 as a result of all of the new housing development in Pacific Highlands Ranch area.

District enrollment is at 4,464 students now.

In Pacific Highlands Ranch, 550 total homes will be built in Pardee Homes’ Casabella, Verana and Can-

terra developments, and the district will start to see students in 2016-17, a boost to Ashley Falls’ small population and increased growth at Sycamore Ridge.

This year, Ashley Falls’ population was 403 students; by 2018-19, it is expected to be 583, and will grow to 689

Public feedback mixed on proposed Del Mar roundabout

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Plans to build a roundabout at the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive received mixed reviews from Del Mar residents during an April 30 scoping meeting.

The traffic-calming device was originally included in a citywide sidewalk capital improvement project. After community concerns about the necessity of the roundabout and traffic impacts, however, the Del Mar City Council in January pulled the proposed roundabout from the overall project and opted to pursue it as a separate project, complete with its own environmental review.

students in 2020-21.

Sycamore Ridge is expected to grow from 502 students this year to 642 in 2018-19.

At Del Mar Heights School, Romero said officials are anticipating a little growth in that area because of turnover rates. At Del Mar

Heights, they are projecting a six-year increase of almost 150 students; neighboring Del Mar Hills will see a small uptick but remain consistent with 330 students projected next year.

Ideas differ, but most agree: DM City Hall should be cultural, civic center • Public, architects meet for comments on project design

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members had the opportunity to chat with the team that is designing Del Mar’s new city hall during a meet-and-greet May 4 outside city hall. “This is about city hall, town hall,� said Mayor Al Corti when he welcomed the crowd. “It’s more than just an administrative building for our employees, it’s a community facility.

Your input, thoughts and ideas into the process are invaluable.�

Seeking the community’s input, The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP, held the public forum to give community members a chance to get to know the design team, ask questions and make comments. Consultants from environmental firm RECON Environmental Inc. and landscape architecture firm Spurlock Poirier were also in attendance. “This is a really great chance to get to know the neighbors,� said Mike Jobes, principal with The Miller Hull Partnership. “We’re coming into a process that’s been going on for so many decades. We want to know the people that are behind this and really get to know them before we even set pen to paper.�

About 60 people were in attendance when the two-hour event kicked off at 5 p.m.

Nearby neighbors had an opportunity to meet the design team an hour earlier at 4 p.m.

With offices in San Diego and Seattle, The Miller Hull Partnership has designed several local projects, including community buildings for San Ysidro Port of Entry and National City’s Pier 32 Marina, and campus buildings at San Diego Mesa College and UC San Diego.

The firm has also worked on six civic center buildings in small Pacific Northwest communities.

Poster boards with images and information about the firm’s previous projects were on display.

Looking at the images, resident Bud Emerson said he was concerned the new city hall would look too modern. “I really don’t like what looks like industrial chic to me,� he said. “It’s too much of an architectural statement as opposed to a community statement. I just hope they can figure us out, because I think city hall should say really clearly what our simple values are.�

Emerson and his wife, Mary Ann Emerson, said the design team should look to the Del Mar Library as an example.

The library, which celebrated its centennial last year, is housed in St. James Catholic Church’s former building. The building first opened its doors in 1914. “I love the architecture of the library,� Mary Ann Emerson added. “Why can’t we have a city hall that looks like that — that lovely building? I don’t think that we need to have ultramodern structures in this small community. I think that that architecture really fits the size of our town.�

Some residents want to use the city’s space to bring Del Mar’s first house back to the community.

Built in 1885, the Alvarado House was given to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985, when the new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot home sat for a century. It was moved to the city hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989.

Today, the house largely remains locked up and unused at the fairgrounds, except when it opens to the public for tours during the annual county fair. “I’d really like to see the Alvarado House brought back to town,� said Lynn Gaylord, a member of the Historical Society. “It’s over on the fairgrounds property, and it doesn’t belong there.� “I want the Alvarado House back,� agreed Tensia Trejo, also a member of the society.

Historical society members hope the house would sit on the southwest corner of the property. It would be renamed the Del Mar History Museum and serve as both a historical museum and visitor information center. “It’s time to come home,� said Larry Brooks, president of the Historical Society. “It would be where the past meets the present and plans for the future,� added Gaylord.

Del Mar artist Juliette Milner said the property should have a place for performing arts events. “We need a cultural hub,� she said.

Resident Betty Wheeler said she would like the town hall to be available and large enough for community events. A volunteer with the Del Mar Foundation, she often plans events that are too large to be accommodated by spaces such as the Powerhouse Community Center. “It would be great to have the ability to have a larger audience for community events, as well as civic functions,� she said.

Attendees wrote down their ideas and hung them up along the fencing at the city’s current facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar. In addition to relocating the Alvarado House, other suggestions were keeping the Del Mar Farmers Market, planting an organic garden, installing outdoor seating, maintaining views, and offering indoor and outdoor activities for kids, teens and seniors.

Although a variety of amenities were suggested, overall, community members agreed they want the new city hall to be a civic and cultural center. “I would like to see a community center that can be used by all of the community and engages people in fun, community activities,� said KC Vafiadis, a Del Mar native and commercial property owner. “We need something that brings us together.�

Council members reflected on the community’s input during the council meeting that followed the event.

Residents request open space, dog- and kid-friendly areas for Shores Park • About 150 attend DM workshop to offer their ideas

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Superman set the tone for the Plan Your Park workshop May 2 at Del Mar Shores Park.

About 150 people attended the event to share their thoughts and help shape a master plan for the site. The workshop invited all community members — even Superman — to provide input on potential park uses.

When asked what he wanted to see at the park, one young boy in a Superman costume told Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director, “Superman wants a place to fly.”

Del Mar purchased the property from Del Mar Union School District for $8.5 million in 2008, in an effort to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue the operation of the Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3acre park along Camino del Mar. “Right now we don’t have any design in mind,

we’re just collecting information from the community,” said Glen Schmidt, president of Schmidt Design Group, the consultant hired to produce the park master plan.

The temporary shareduse plan in place allows Little League and other licensed sporting groups to use the park from 3:30 p.m. to dusk on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Dogs are allowed to be offleash from 6 to 8:30 a.m. daily and from 4 p.m. to dusk on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

All other daylight hours not included in the ordinance or used by the Winston School are reserved for general park use, with dogs on leashes and no organized sports.

“This is a great idea, getting everybody’s opinion,” said Del Mar resident Linda Katz.

Katz was one of several dog owners who brought her pet to the park for the event “I want it to remain dog-, family- and adultfriendly,” she said. “I just

Bob & Kathy Angello

love that there’s a place where children, adults and dogs can all play together.”

Mother and daughter Shirley and Brianna Becker also asked for continued shared use between people and pets.

“We’re just local residents who come here every day with our dogs,” Brianna Becker said. “A lot of different people use the park. It’s for children, but it’s also for dogs. We feel that these are our kids.”

“We pay taxes, too, so we feel we should be able to have a piece of the park for our family,” added her mother, Shirley.

Some dog owners asked for a separate space for their four-legged friends.

With her Shih Tzu, Elvis, in her arms, resident Barbara Scott said a dog run would allow dogs and children to play in a healthy and safe environment.

“Del Mar is a dog town; everybody has a dog,” said Scott, who has lived in Del Mar since 1972. “But I think the children come before the dogs.”

Many community

members said the site should remain as open space.

Del Mar resident Nitza Leichtling argued against amenities that would transform the property into a busy place.

“If we put benches all over the place and make it really posh, it’s going to draw others and increase noise and increase traffic,” said Leichtling, who has lived in Del Mar for almost 30 years.

“When we purchased it, the intention was open space,” she added. “We want to keep it green. This isn’t a space, in my opinion, for big meeting halls or concert venues.

We already have that at the Powerhouse. I’d like to see this as an open, green space for dogs and kids to play and for people to walk.”

Other community members, however, requested benches, picnic tables and a mixed-use space with no fences.

Carmel Valley resident Michelle Heavey said she would like to see “anything that’s kid-friendly.” With her 3-year-old son in tow, Heavey said a playground with a view would be a welcome addition.

“We come down here a lot to use the resources around here,” she said.

Local Darcy Bingham said she’d like to see fitness stations where young and old could exercise.

“I think more people would use the park if there were fitness stations, and we could have community workouts,” she said.

Del Mar resident Marjorie Moss said the site should be used for a community center with a pool. She pointed to the Encinitas Community Center as an example.

“I think that’s an ideal place — the way they have it arranged,” said Moss, who has lived in Del Mar for 40 years. “It’s available to the whole community.”

People wrote their ideas on sticky notes and placed them on boards marked as “guiding principles” or “potential amenities” during the workshop. Other suggestions included gardens and shade trees.

Kids also posted drawings of what they want the park to offer. Pictures included a place for dogs, a playground and a waterslide.

Looking at the sticky notes, designer Schmidt said he saw that “a lot of people really recognize the beautiful views and what a wonderful open space this could be.”

“Overall, the guiding principles, to me, looks like ‘Let’s be beautiful, let’s be elegant, let’s make this a beautiful spot for Del Mar to enjoy,’” he said.

The workshop is one of the final steps in the first phase of the three-part master plan process.

The first phase, called the “discover” phase, kicked off in November to learn how people want to use the park. Input was gathered from interest group interviews, informational pop-up booths and the city’s online tool MindMixer.

More than 400 people also responded to an online survey, Schmidt said. Results should be presented to the City Council in June or July.

Evaluating city’s design review process selected as a top priority for Del Mar City Council

BY KRISTINA HOUCK In preparation of the budget workshop May 11-12, the Del Mar City Council reviewed its top-priority projects for the 201516 and 2016-17 fiscal years during the May 4 council meeting.

At the top of the council’s list is evaluating the city’s design review process. The process is intended to preserve and protect Del Mar’s community character.

Community members expressed their dissatisfaction with the city’s development and design review process in a citizen satisfaction survey conducted Nov. 20 through Jan. 12. When the council engaged advisory committees in its Feb. 3 council priorities workshop, committee members also listed evaluating the design review process among their goals. Members of the public again expressed concerns with the design review process and residential construction when the council discussed its priorities at the April 20 meeting.

After recently meeting with concerned community members, Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilman Terry Sinnott proposed establishing a citizen task force to go over the city’s design review ordinance, as well as planning procedures to ensure that new homes comply with the community plan.

“We fast-tracked this,” Parks said.

“We’ve really heard you, and we’ve really worked hard to quickly get this on the agenda, put it at the top of the focus for us.

We’re going to do our best to have it work.”

With a packed agenda, the council briefly touched on its priority list at the meeting, but heard public comments and discussed the design review process for about an hour.

During that time, 13 community mem-

bers addressed the council, all in favor of the proposed task force. Several others submitted slips in favor, but chose not to speak.

“There’s something in the process that’s not working right, and we’d like the city to fix it,” said Tim Haviland, who was later appointed to the Design Review Board by the council in a separate agenda item. He replaces Scott Crouch, whose term ended April 1.

“And when I say the city,” he said, “it really has to be a citizens-driven program.”

Concerned about the size and scale of new homes in Del Mar, resident Anne Ferrell also asked for the community to be more involved in the process.

“I think the community needs a stronger voice,” Ferrell said. “I think this is a hugely important project for all of us, and for our children and grandchildren. Del Mar is changing very fast, and I’m scared what it might be if we don’t do something about it.”

“Small is beautiful,” said resident Bud Emerson. “We don’t want to be Fairbanks Ranch. Del Mar is different.

“What’s really good about what you’re hearing is people are up in arms,” he added.

“People care. They’re taking ownership of our town.”

Because the item was not placed on the agenda and was only included as part of the council’s discussion on priorities, council members could not move forward with establishing a committee during the meeting.

Since it is a top priority, City Manager Scott Huth said it would be placed on the council’s May 18 agenda.

“I think this is a very worthwhile cause,” Sinnott said. “The DRO has been in place for many, many years. The DRB process has contributed greatly to the quality of our community. It’s appropriate and timely, I think, to take a look at it.”

North County cities eye sea-level studies • Bridges, roads, blufftop homes at risk from changing conditions

BY BARBARA HENRY, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN Rising sea levels could play havoc with North County’s lagoons, eat away parts of Highway 101 and damage blufftop properties in the coming decades.

Carlsbad and Del Mar — two of North County’s five coastal cities — recently have secured grant money to study exactly how much harm rising sea levels may cause to their coastlines, and they both expect to complete their studies in April 2017. The other three cities — Solana Beach, Encinitas and Oceanside — are trying for funding, but haven’t been successful.

Representatives for all five cities gathered Thursday afternoon for the first-ever meeting of the Encinitas Sea Level Rise Subcommittee, a group created by the Encinitas City Council. They shared their concerns, compared state and federal grant options, and discussed plans to create a website that could act as a regional “clearing house” for their climate change-related work in the coming years.

All of them said they expect the issue to have a major impact on their communities far into the future, noting that scientists are forecasting that global temperatures and sea levels will gradually rise throughout the next 100 years as concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere continue to increase.

In Del Mar, beachfront properties aren’t the only places at risk from global climate change, Councilman Dwight Worden said.

“We’ve got a $90 million lagoon restoration” project that could be adversely affected if sea levels drastically change, he said.

There’s also the railroad line, fellow Del

Mar Councilman Don Mosier said.

“The railroad bridges are vulnerable,” he added, noting that the aging rail bridge across San Dieguito Lagoon already “is not looking good” because high tides lap against the bridge supports.

In Solana Beach, the focus is on bluff protection because the city doesn’t have many low-lying areas, but Encinitas officials worry about what rising sea levels might do to south Cardiff’s portion of Coast Highway 101, which runs over a sand berm across San Elijo Lagoon.

Oceanside officials have both beach and harbor areas to worry about, and the city hasn’t had any success getting grant money simply to study beach sand issues, Mayor Jim Wood said.

He said city officials know that catastrophic events in other parts of the globe can have a direct impact on Oceanside, because the tsunami that followed the March 2011 earthquake in Japan pushed debris onto Oceanside beaches.

North County coastal cities aren’t the only ones in San Diego County worrying about climate change. Imperial Beach has its own climate change study in the works, noted Keith Greer, a senior regional planner for the San Diego Association of Governments. And the California State Parks system is assessing statewide what climate change may do to its properties, said Darren Smith, a state parks environmental scientist.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency also is studying coastal flooding issues, and may be releasing results for central and northern California in the coming months, said FEMA consultant Darryl Hatheway.

Solana Beach’s Solis named to horse racing board Del Mar Kaaboo music festival planners Hall of Fame jockey Alex Solis, a Solana Beach resident, was appointed April 30 to the California Horse Racing Board by Gov. Jerry Brown. discuss community’s traffic, noise concerns The panel, according to its website, works to ensure the integrity, viability and safety

BY KAREN BILLING After hearing concerns that Kaaboo, September’s three-day music festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, might turn into a wild, raucous Burning Man where the turf meets the surf, concert representatives are doing public outreach to help put neighbors at ease.

Julie Cohen, of the Denver-based Madison Companies putting on Kaaboo, visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on April 23 to explain what the Sept.

18-20 concert event really is. “People were worried that it was going to end up being a very alcohol-intensive event with a lot of kids,� Cohen said. “We’re trying to target an older demographic with a lot of high-end art, food and a more diverse lineup.�

She said the average ticket buyer is 38 years old, and prices for three-day passes range from $199 to $2,499. VIP experiences like full-service, on-site lodging are offered for as much as $12,000.

Kaaboo’s lineup includes more than 100 musical acts including No Doubt, The Killers, Zac Brown Band, Snoop Dogg, Foster the People, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Spoon, The Roots, Sheryl Crow, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and Slightly Stoopid.

The Kaaboo comedy club will feature comedians like Joel McHale, Lewis Black, Anthony Jeselnik, Jeff Garlin and Tim Meadows.

Cohen said the festival will not only bring a huge economic boost to the area, but it has made a commitment to give back to local charities. One dollar from every pass sold will be split among Feeding America San Diego, the San Diego Music Foundation, Operation Amped, and Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter. Attendees have an opportunity to make an additional charitable contribution when buying passes, and Kaaboo will match every such contribution made.

To address traffic impacts on the neighborhood, Cohen said the festival has planned many traffic reduction measures. On-site parking passes must be purchased in advance, and off-site shuttles will also be used, as well as a bike valet.

As for noise concerns, all outdoor concerts will end by 10 p.m. and late-night shows will all take place indoors.

Kaaboo will have its own emergency services personnel, so they will not be pulling from local resources, Cohen said.

In an effort to attract an older, more affluent crowd, Cohen said every detail has been designed for a clean, comfortable festival experience with fewer lines, ample seating areas, restaurants and service plazas. “They want a place to sit down, they don’t want to use a porta-potty, and they want to eat good food,� Cohen said.

Atypical music festival indulgences to be found at Kaaboo include massages and hair and nail services. People can enjoy a contemporary fine arts show with a glass of handcrafted small-batch bourbon, drive golf balls on a simulator and even do some virtual surfing.

TPHS student named 2015 TPHS student chosen to attend famed arts camp U.S. Presidential Scholar Melinda Wang of San Diego, who attends Torrey Pines High School, has been named as a 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholar.

Wang is one of 141 outstanding American high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community. The U.S. Presidential Scholars will be honored in Washington D.C., from June 21-23.

“Presidential Scholars demonstrate the accomplishments that can be made when students challenge themselves, set the highest standards, and commit themselves to excellence,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

“These scholars are poised to make their mark on our nation in every field imaginable ... Their academic and artistic achievements reflect a sense of purpose that we should seek to instill in all students to prepare them for college, careers, civic responsibilities, and the challenges of today’s job market.”

Since 1983, Presidential Scholars have been offered the opportunity to name their most influential teacher, who is then honored with a personal letter from the Secretary of Education. Wang chose to recognize teacher Zakia Chowdhury of Torrey Pines High School.

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by President Obama, selects honored scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership, and demonstrated commitment to high ideals.

Madison Wright, 16, has been accepted to attend Interlochen Arts Camp, the world’s premier summer arts program for aspiring artists in grades 3 through 12.

Wright, the daughter of Daniel and Shelly Yeager, will participate in the Vocal Artist program at the Camp.

A sophomore at Torrey Pines High School who is involved in drama and a member of the dance team, Madison studies voice privately with renowned soprano Barbara Toblar of Solana Beach.

Interlochen Arts Camp attracts students, faculty and Madison Wright staff from all 50 U.S. states and more than 40 countries.

These artists fill Interlochen’s northwoods campus with an explosion of creativity. Student-artists learn from world-class instructors and produce hundreds of presentations each summer in dance, theatre, creative writing, visual arts, music and film.

Among the distinguished camp alumni are Norah Jones, singer Josh Groban, members of the band OK Go, Rufus Wainwright, opera and concert soprano Jessye Norman, conductor Loren Maazel, jazz pianist Eldar, actor Anthony Rapp, cartoonist Cathy Guisewite and many more. Approximately 10 percent of the nation’s professional orchestra musicians have roots at Interlochen and the alumni community has been awarded nearly 100 Grammy Awards.

Madison received a partial merit scholarship when offered a spot in the camp’s program and is still raising funds for this endeavor. For information, visit www.madisonmereewright. com.

Cathedral student tops in Don Diego scholarships A Cathedral Catholic High School student won the top scholarship from the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation recently.

Fourteen students from schools all over San Diego County shared $42,500 in funding from the foundation.

“To say this year’s applicants were impressive would be a vast understatement,” said Don Diego Chairman Paul Ecke, who led the Scholarship Selection Committee. “Despite having increased the number and monetary amount of awards, our task was formidable. We received dozens of applications and interviewed many highly qualified and deserving finalists, ultimately awarding 14 scholarships instead of the 13 Hannah Labrie-Smith originally intended.”

Topping all recipients is $10,000 4H/Spanjian Family Foundation winner Hannah Labrie-Smith, who graduates from Cathedral Catholic High School with a 4.29 GPA, 4H leadership/awards, compassionate community and church service, and years of successful competition in Irish dance, polo and other sports, notably track.

“I am so honored and excited to have received this double scholarship from Don Diego!” said Hannah, who was 2013 and 2014 San Diego Track Athlete of the Year. In 2014, she broke Olympic Champion Gail Devers’ 31-year San Diego record in the 300-meter hurdles. Hannah is on track to a fulfilling career as a veterinarian, and will attend prestigious Stanford University, majoring in human biology. Teacher/coach Dan Geiger, who calls Hannah a “once-in-a-lifetime type of student-athlete,” said that besides her love for animals, “Hannah’s strong performance in science leads me to believe she will have no problem accomplishing her goals.”

Eligibility was open to San Diego County high school seniors who participated in the San Diego County Fair and/or other activities associated with the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Recipients will be honored at Don Diego’s exclusive Peter Frampton and Cheap Trick dinner and concert gala on June 10 at the Fair. Tickets are at www.dondiegoscholarship.org. Information on programs and donation opportunities is at www.dondiegoscholarship.org and www.facebook.com/DonDiegoScholarship.

“I really think that there’s a great desire to meld civic activity, civic involvement with the outdoor feel, the outdoor appreciation of where we are,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott.

Since Del Mar initiated the city hall planning process in June 2013, the council has discussed the project at dozens of council meetings, held three public workshops, and issued a citywide survey and online poll.

In January, the council appointed five community members to an ad hoc design team selection committee. David Arnold, William Cecil, Dennis Cruzan, Lewis Dominy and Pat JaCoby worked with council liaisons Corti and Councilman Don Mosier to review statements of qualifications to select a design team for the project.

The committee narrowed the initial list of 14 architectural firms to three teams. After reviewing proposals and hearing presentations, the committee selected The Miller Hull Partnership.

Jobes said his team was “really encouraged” by the meet-and-greet turnout.

“We do these types of projects often, and often times, it can be a struggle to get people to participate,” he said. “Today, we saw so many people out, ready to talk about this with us. It was an exciting moment to see that happen.

“We’re feeling really good about plugging into a process that’s been going on for a long time at a point in time where the momentum is moving forward.”

The design team plans to continue working closely with the community on the initial concept and schematic phase of the project.

An open house is scheduled for 5-6 p.m. June 1 in front of Del Mar TV Studios, where The Miller Hull Partnership will present initial design ideas and concept plan options. Community input will be welcome at the event, which takes place before the 6 p.m. council meeting.

“We’re going to come back with three big ideas — three ways that we think this could work,” Jobes said.

“It’s on us to believe that any one of the three could work.”

After receiving feedback, The Miller Hull Partnership will present its preferred concept at the June 15 council meeting.

“We’re off to a good start,” Mosier said. “Most of the comments I saw were positive, productive comments, so I think we do have momentum and we don’t want to lose it.”

SDJA student wins federal stamp contest

The Carmel Valley Middle School Science Bowl team brought home $1,000 to the science department for finishing in the top 16.

CV Science Bowl team in nation’s top 5 Carmel Valley Middle School finished in the nation’s top five in the National Finals of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. The team, composed of Before competing, the team took some time out to tour Allen Huang, Caroline Bao, Washington, D.C., sites.

Andy Zhu, Jerry Qu and Wesley Zhang, competed with other top middle schools. They lost only three matches in academic competition, and those losses were to the top three finishing teams. As part of the competition, they built and raced an electric car to showcase their engineering skills.

The team won $1,000 for the science department for finishing in the top 16.

Before competition the team visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, the Air and Space Museum and took a tour of the Capitol through Congressman Scott Peters’ office.

A second-grader at San Diego Jewish Academy recently won the annual nationwide competition for the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service.

Sam Land entered the art contest with his classmates. In addition to his drawing, he also came up with a conservation message. Although his drawing was not chosen, he “hit a grand slam” with his conservation message: “Conserving our wildlife means conserving our future.” And with that, Sam won first place!

“I was actually very excited when I heard that I had won,” said Sam. “I was also very nervous about being recognized in front of the whole school.”

Entering the contest was the brainchild of SDJA art teacher Victoria Polyak.

“I thought this contest would make an excellent art project for the students,” said Polyak. “The students enjoyed Sam Land drawing the ducks, and the thought of entering them into a national contest helped inspire many of them as well.”

Students in grades K-12 participate in the California contest by creating an entry for their state’s Junior Duck Stamp art contest. Judges select 25 winners from each of the four grade groups for prizes and one “Best of Show” winner, who is entered in a national art competition. The winning national art entry is made into a conservation stamp.

Students may also submit a conservation message. Three conservation message winners are selected from each group, and one is chosen to compete at nationals.

“I was surprised to learn I was the winner,” said Sam. “My mom knew, but my dad didn’t and when he found out he told me, ‘Great job!’”

The Junior Duck Stamp Program will be showing Sam’s conservation message with the California Junior Duck Stamp Display, along with the 100 winning art entries. The display travels around the state and will be publicly displayed over the next year.

Officers on the watch for railroad track trespassers Officers from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are on the lookout for trespassers on North County railroad tracks.

Del Mar City Manager Scott Huth reminded community members during the May 4 council meeting that it is illegal to cross railroad tracks or walk between them and posted signs.

“I want to make sure people understand that on the railroad right-of-way, it is illegal to be on that right-of-way area,” he said.

Generally, officers have given warnings to anyone illegally crossing, but recently they have stepped up enforcement efforts and have been writing tickets for trespassing.

“Be aware of what you are doing in and around the public right-of-way,” Huth said.

Del Mar volunteer helps the Globe Guilders keep theater arts vital

BY KRISTINA HOUCK This year is a special year for the Globe Guilders, the auxiliary group that supports San Diego-based The Old Globe Theater. It is the 25th anniversary of the group’s largest fundraiser, the 60th anniversary of the organization, and the 80th anniversary of The Old Globe.

Del Mar’s Margi Sargis is proud to play a part in the major milestones.

“It’s much more than volunteer work,” Sargis said. “It’s like a family.”

As board president of the Globe Guilders, Sargis is leading the organization as it celebrates its anniversary, along with the silver anniversary of its fashion show and luncheon, “Celebrating Couture 2015,” on May 12 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel.

For a quarter-century, the Globe Guilders have brought fashion and fundraising together to benefit The Old Globe Theater.

“Our committee has really put their heart and soul into this year’s fashion show,” said Sargis, a Del Mar resident for about 30 years. “It’s going to be a wonderful event.”

This year’s event will once again feature fashions by world-renowned couture designer Naeem Khan.

Khan’s collections have been showcased in the show for seven years. From Beyoncé to Michelle Obama, his work has been worn by some of the world’s highest-profile celebrities and political figures.

“His designs are fun to look at, and they make real women look beautiful,” Sargis said.

The fashion show is just one of the volunteer-based group’s yearly fundraisers for The Old Globe Theatre.

Founded in 1955, today the Globe Guilders has more than 200 members who organize fundraisers to support The Old Globe Theatre. With a year-round season of 15 plays and musicals on its three stages, the theater is San Diego’s largest performing arts institution.

Guilders also volunteer in the Globe’s costume shop, education department and special events, and even provide scholarships for theater students.

By becoming a Guilder years ago, Sargis said she took the “back door” to get involved in the arts.

“I got active in Guilders and then I fell in love with theater,” she said. “Now, I look forward to every play. I feel like I’m doing something to support something worthwhile.”

A retired middle school teacher, Sargis said she’s proudest of the theater’s education programs.

Committed to supporting arts education, the Globe offers in-school programs, adult programs and a graduate acting program through its education department.

“I think that the arts are so important, and I don’t just mean the theater — I mean

Photo at left by F&L Media. theater, music, visual arts, the opera,” Sargis said. “They’re all struggling right now. I want to do the little bit that I can to keep it going “ Proceeds from “Celebrating Couture” will benefit the Globe’s education, artistic and community programs.

Presented by Neiman Marcus, the event begins with a champagne reception and silent auction at 10 a.m. May 12 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, at 1 Park Boulevard in San Diego. The live auction and opportunity drawing is at noon, followed by the luncheon and fashion show.

About 600 people attended last year’s event and raised approximately $130,000.

“It’s a big deal,” Sargis said. “It gets bigger every year.”

Tickets start at $115. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.globeguilders.org/fashion-show.

Solana Beach Scout achieves Eagle ranking Blake Richards-Smith, a sophomore at Torrey Pines High School, has achieved his Eagle Scout ranking. He is the son of Trent Richards-Smith and Shona Jutronich, and has a sister, Emma.

He began in Littleton, Colo., as a Cub Scout, and later became a Boy Scout in Troop 444, Littleton. The family relocated from Colorado to Solana Beach in August 2013, and Blake was accepted into Troop 713, based in Del Mar. Because of the timing of the relocation, Blake decided to complete his Eagle with his troop in Colorado.

“With scouting I learned so much that it was able to transfer ... over to everyday life,” he wrote in an essay about his Scouting career.

In 2010, he achieved the “100 Years Centennial of Boy Blake Richards-Smith Scout” badge. He has also earned the Mile Swim (three times), and the Fourteener, Recruiter, and the World Conservation Badges. He has also held positions as an instructor, a den chief, patrol leader and troop guide. In 2012, he was elected into the Order of the Arrow.

For his Eagle Project, he collected travel-sized items for Volunteers of America. More than 2,500 items were collected from various donors, including dentists, Scouting families and neighborhood members. With the help of his troop, the items were packaged into over 625 care packages, including 120 individually wrapped toilet paper rolls.

With Troop 713 he has continued his Scout activities, including a High Adventure trip to Philmont (where he achieved the 50 Miler award), five weeks as a Scout instructor at Camp Fiesta Island, and summer camp at Catalina Island. He is thankful to Troop 713 for continuing to inspire him in his Boy Scout career.

‘Stuff You Already Know’ author to share more wisdom at local appearances

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ The road to becoming a writer is different for every author, but for most there is a catalyst that makes them finally sit down in a chair and write. For career counselor and University of San Diego adjunct faculty member Gina DeLapa, a love of writing that started in childhood became a book as a result of bits of advice written in a journal for her nephew — which turned into the successful “Stuff You Already Know' series, which includes “Stuff You Already Know” and “Stuff You Already Know — And Every College Student Should.”

Aspiring writers will find inspiration in what DeLapa shares about her process. And with graduation around the corner, bring your high school or college students to meet her and learn how to maximize their educational experience at 1 p.m. May 9 at Barnes & Noble Grossmont Center and 7 p.m. May 15 at Bookstar in La Jolla. For more on DeLapa and her books, check out www.stuffyoualreadyknow. com.

Q: You are the author of the “Stuff You Already Know” series. If we already know it, why write the books?

Ha! Great question. The shortest answer can be found in my tagline: “Life’s Ultimate Reminders.” We do know this stuff, but sometimes we all need small reminders to keep us moving in the right direction.

Q: What kind of Stuff will readers find in “Stuff You Already Know for College Students”?

All the stuff they’ll wish they had known in hindsight — from creative ways to choose a major to how to get rid of Camping Carl, the guy who drops by the dorm room and won’t leave. Most of all, students will discover practical ways to maximize the return on their college investment, both inside the classroom and far beyond it.

Q: What was your inspiration for the series?

It really started with the desire to share a few words of wisdom for my non-biological nephew Adam, who was just starting high school. There was “stuff” I

wanted him to know, to make his life easier. I’m proud to say that first book has since been enjoyed by people of all ages, from middle schoolers to folks in their eighties and, of course,

by Adam, who’s now a junior.

Q: Writing figured in your life since you were a child, and you even edited two national newsletters.

But what made you finally sit down and write a book?

I guess I have a lot of opinions! The deal with Adam started as a collection of notes —mostly one-liners — in a red leather journal.

The more I surrendered the whole thing, the more my enthusiasm grew, and the more people flooded into my life to make it something bigger than I could have envisioned on my own — first, a book, and then a series.

The cool thing is, the store where I bought that red leather journal, Bookstar at Costa Verde, now carries my books! If I can throw in a quick, shameless plug, I hope to see as many people as possible at the store event on Friday, May 15. Or at the

the seed for my love for words. When I was in high school, my dad and I would read poetry together. Some of it was really sappy, but it really brought us together.

Beyond that, as the youngest, I probably did a lot of observing. And as a young adult, my mother inspired me by her example to keep a “Lessons Learned” journal. Without that, I don’t think there would be a “Stuff You Already Know” series. Thanks, Mom!

Q: You have a master’s in counseling and are a career counselor and adjunct faculty member at University of San Diego. How does your training and work play into your writing?

I see so much good in the twentysomething generation. They’re so full of life, so witty, and optimistic. On a good day, they bring out those qualities in me. And I venture to say readers will see those qualities reflected in my writing.

Q: Family has been a huge part of your life. How has family influenced your books?

As a kid of maybe 3 or 4, I remember taking family trips to the public library. I loved books, even just the smell of them. My mother and older brothers taught me how to read before kindergarten. So I think that planted

Q: What is the easiest part of being a writer?

What is the most difficult?

I get paid to affirm and encourage other people — and to get them to laugh and maybe see life in a different way. It’s an awesome privilege, because let’s face it, life can be hard. On the other hand, so can writing!

Sometimes as writers, we find ourselves telling stories we’ve never shared with anyone, including ourselves — for example, when I wrote (in the first book) about my friend Susie, under the banner of, “Don’t make death harder than it See AUTHOR, page 20

NORTH COAST - MAY 7, 2015 - PAGE A13

Canyon Crest Academy’s version of “Weekend Update” will be part of the “SNL@CCA” gala put on by students, teachers and alumni on May 16.

Students, teachers and alumni pitching in to make ‘SNL@CCA’ May 16 gala a success When planning for the Canyon Crest Academy gala “SNL@CCA” began, Director Jeannine Marquie knew that she had an abundance of resources at her disposal: talented students, teachers and alumni.

Said Marquie, “Where else can you ask two teachers to be the Blues Brothers, two alumni to write the script and a student to make a full-size puppet for the show? Here at CCA, all things are possible!”

For the second year in a row, CCA’s gala will highlight and feature student talent and participation. This year, alumni are also heavily involved. Students have been working with alums Nick Scutti and Matt Herman for the past several months, to write the scripts and many of the sketches for “SNL@CCA.” Herman, a 2009 graduate, directs youth and high school theatre around San Diego, including Poway High School’s recent production of “All Shook Up.” His career focus is scenic design, and he’ll be starting an MFA program at UCSD in scenic design. He has been a guest artist at CCA, working with the kids on improv. He has also taught workshops for the Comedy Sportz team, which he and Scutti co-founded while they were students.

Scutti, a 2010 graduate who is working at a temporary job while writing and acting at night, was a member of the CCA Theatre Conservatory for three years. He has completed all core improv and sketch comedy writing classes with Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles.

“Nick and I both had Jeannine (Marquie, CCA Envision Theatre Coordinator), as a teacher in high school and were known for being a comedy duo,” said Herman of how he and Scutti became involved. “When the theme for the gala came up, the cards seemed to fall into place. Having worked with students as a guest artist for the past few years, it made stepping in to work with the kids really natural.”

The duo, along with Marquie, are working with about 30 students, who are involved with every aspect of the show. Some teachers will be performing at the gala. “You won’t believe how crazy our teachers are until they show their funny side,” Scutti teased. “Let’s just say ‘The Blues Brothers’ are coming back.”

Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Executive Director Joanne Couvrette said, “We are not going to tell you who the ‘Blues Brothers’ are, but let’s just say students and parents will be delighted to see the music and comedic talent of two of CCA’s favorite teachers on the stage on May 16!”

Junior Jacob Surovsky, a second-year Theatre Conservatory member, has a passion for puppetry. As a freshman, he was cast in CCA’s production of “Avenue Q,” and was introduced to guest artist Lynne Jennings, president of the San Diego Puppetry Society. Since then, Jacob has become president of the Puppetry Club at CCA, and continues to be mentored by Jennings.

When approached about the possibility of creating a puppet for the gala, and knowing the history of the Muppets on “Saturday Night Live,” Jacob created “Count Counts A Lot,” a puppet who will be involved in both the promos and the show itself.

“Count Counts A lot will make guest appearances in the promos and on ‘Weekend Update.’ I was very happy to work with the SNL@CCA creative team to create this character.” Jacob said.

“Only at CCA can we call a student at 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning, have him sketch out the basic outline of the puppet by 1 p.m., and begin the complicated process of sewing the puppet the next day,” said Couvrette. “I am so lucky to work in an environment of such great creativity, but also in place where the first answer is ‘Yes, we can do that.’

“Jacob embodies that spirit. In the midst of AP tests, a Shakespeare competition and his conservatory studies, he was able to make us a puppet for the SNL@CCA show. The students at CCA all have that ‘Yes, can do,’ approach to everything, and it makes everything come together so well.”

“The opportunity for collaboration between students, staff, alumni, and professional guest artists is one of the greatest strengths of the Envision programs at CCA,” said Hilary Patton, Envision parent coordinator and CCA Gala Auction Chair. “Thanks to the CCA Foundation, these experiences are made possible.”

Patton would also like to give special thanks to The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, SNL@CCA’s Producer Sponsors, and remind everyone to go to ccagala.com, where the silent auction is now open to bid on a variety of items, including internships, test prep classes, trips, dinners, shows and more!

Pug Rescue hosts Vegas-themed Pug Party in Del Mar Pug Rescue of San Diego County held its 24th annual Pug Party at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on May 2, attended by 336 pugs and their owners.

The pack of pugs — called a grumble — enjoyed contests for cupcake eating and best interpretation of the Las Vegas theme — there were several Elvis and showgirl pugs and one “Manny Pug-iuao.�

Pugs up for adoption were able to meet prospective parents, and all proceeds from the event went to Pug Rescue’s efforts to find loving homes and medical attention for rescued and relinquished pugs.

Interim director appointed at Boys Del Mar resident among honorees & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito for Jewish American Heritage Month The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito announces a leadership transition effective July 1, 2015. CEO David H. Crean has decided to pursue new career opportunities outside of the club. Marineke Vandervort, a 24 year veteran of the organization, has been appointed interim executive director.

Crean will transition the balance of his responsibilities over the next month to ensure a seamless transition.

“David has served as a strong leader for the past two years as the CEO of the BGC San Dieguito, and his guidance and operational expertise have been greatly appreciated,” said Pat Lenihan, Chairman of the Operating Board for the Club.

During his tenure, Crean helped champion the creation of the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle at the Griset Branch in Encinitas, led the expansion of services at Ocean Knoll Elementary, and integrated Kid Korps USA, a leading youth volunteer organization, into the club. Under his tenure, the BGC of San Dieguito was awarded the 2013-2014 Nonprofit of the Year by the North San Diego Business Chamber.

“Marineke has experience as both a benefactor of the BGC San Dieguito programs, with two kids attending, and as the

current director of human resources,” said Lenihan. “Her direction and consistency allowed for 250 employees to rely on her guidance and support.”

This HR role has also given Vandervort a deep knowledge in all the major aspects of the Club’s operations, key programs and offerings, and people assets to further the BGC mission to all 5,700 kids and families the Club serves annually. In 2013, Vandervort was awarded Administrative Staff of the Year

by The Professional Association of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, representing more than 4,000 clubs around the United States and 52,000 adult professional staff that serve them.

Vandervort is rooted in the San Dieguito community, having attended both elementary and middle schools in Solana Beach. She graduated from Torrey Pines High School. Her BGC San Dieguito career began as a swim instructor for the Aquatics Department at the age of 15. She has held the position of HR director for the past eight years.

For information on Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, visit bgcSanDieguito.org.

Del Mar resident Robin Rady, founder and chief executive officer of metugo, is one of two honorees during Jewish American Heritage Month.

As part of its ongoing commitment to cultural diversity and responsible banking, Union Bank has partnered with KPBS to honor these Jewish Americans as local heroes. Rady and Virginia Gordon, outreach coordinator, J Street San Diego, will be recognized in May at a private dinner celebration with their families and executives from KPBS and Union Bank.

Rady was diagnosed with breast cancer and the BRCA2 gene mutation in 2011. Her treatment consisted of many medical procedures, physical therapy and multiple medications. Overwhelmed with the reports, paperwork and records of all her treatments and appointments, she organized her “medical life” into a binder. After her recovery in 2012, she created the metugo organizer, designed for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. She rallied family and friends to volunteer to help meet the growing demand for the “hope in a binder.” By the end of 2015, it is estimated that she will have provided more than 1,000 organizers to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. In 2014, she was named San Diego Business Journal Health Care Champion and was also a finalist of the journal’s Women Who Mean Business list.

Gordon has been the outreach coordinator for J Street San Diego since 2012. Her work helped build a new, 1,500-member chapter with 40 activists. Her role includes overseeing policy; recruiting, training and managing new leadership; fundraising and advocating J Street positions in five Congressional Districts; and representing the chapter at national events. She holds a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California and conducts educational research at UCSD.

Snooze restaurant joins Del Mar Heights students for strawberry project Last week, employees of Snooze restaurant joined the first- and second-graders at Del Mar Heights School for a new project.

Together, they planted 120 strawberry plants in the newly renovated school garden.

This is the latest in a continuing partnership between the school and restaurant.

Snooze has not only donated funds, but continues to donate good old-fashioned “elbow grease.�

For this new strawberry project, as the plants grow, students will use them to study plant life cycles. After students complete the harvest, the restaurant will return and use the strawberries for pancakes in a cooking demonstration.

The school is very excited about providing students a genuine Farm-to-Table experience. The Del Mar Heights PTA hopes to build upon this project and start a Farmto-Table series for the next school year.

Sage Canyon PTA holds recycling event for Earth Day The Sage Canyon PTA had a successful recycling event recently for Earth Day. Students were encouraged to bring in recyclables on Earth Day. With the help of Girl Scout Troop 1657, Girl Scout Troop 3070, and Boy Scout Pack 765, the Sage Canyon Coyotes were able to collect more than 2000 bottles and redeemed them for $123.02.

SB lawyer named president for statewide group AUTHOR

San Diego family law attorney Shawn Weber, CLS-F, member and past president of the Collaborative Family Law Group of San Diego, was installed as president of Collaborative Practice California (CP Cal), the statewide organization for Collaborative Practice groups, at its annual conference in Los Angeles recently.

Individual members of the practice groups included Collaborative lawyers, mental health practitioners, financial specialists, and other professionals. The Collaborative Process is being used in divorce and family law, domestic partnerships, same sex marriages, employment law, probate law, construction and real property law, malpractice, and other civil law areas.

CP Cal’s mission is to unify, strengthen and support the Collaborative Practice community and to increase public awareness of the Collaborative Process throughout California.

“Divorce is a human experience, not just a legal process,” said Weber.

“Collaborative Practice through CP Cal represents a significant shift in our approach toward resolving civil disputes including divorce. The litigation Shawn Weber model doesn’t have to be the first choice. In a divorce, we help people resolve their issues without harming each other or their children. We help them arrive at options that preserve the long-term interest of the family.

“My goal during my term as CP Cal Board President is to foster communication about the many benefits of Collaborative Divorce and to encourage more legal, financial, and mental health professionals to embrace this philosophy as a possible solution for their clients.”

For nearly 20 years, Weber has worked exclusively in family law. He specializes in helping clients reach agreements and avoid the heartache and stress of court.

Weber started with the Solana Beach based law firm of Brave, Weber & Mack in 1999.

Just a few years later, he became the firm’s managing attorney. He has grown the firm from a small solo practice to a full-service firm. In 2006, he also became a Partner and CFO of the firm and is trusted with the firm’s day-to-day financial management.

Vintners’ Wine and Food Festival set for May 17 The San Diego County Vintners Association is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2015 with its expanded annual wine festival, set for May 17.

is,” it ripped my heart out to relive that experience. But in the end, the story offered hope and redemption. I would not have left it in the book had it turned out otherwise.

Q: As you became a published author, what was the most important lesson you learned along the way?

Maybe just to get over myself! This really isn’t about me — it’s about passing along what I’ve learned, in the best way I know how, and trusting God with the results.

I’m very careful in all my books to tell the reader, “Filter this through the lens of your own experience, and keep and pass along only what is helpful.”

Q: What was the best piece of advice you were given as a writer?

A guy named Hugh Aaron, a businessowner-turned-author, reminded me that writing itself was its own best reward. “Good

thing,” he added, “because it’s tough to sell your wares.” Then he summed up with, “You want to write? Then write.”

Q: What is the most important bit of Stuff you would pass along to aspiring authors?

Honor your own writing style — whether it’s literary, journalistic, or just pithy one-liners. When someone tries to stop you or discourage you — as they will — use it as rocket fuel. I’m serious about that.

And to paraphrase my old friend Hugh Aaron, if you want to write, write. Use your writing to make the world better, and writing truly will be its own best reward.

SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update: Bond, enrollment, more Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through local media with a monthly update. Topics will include curriculum, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics.

Today’s topics: our 2nd Prop AA bond issuance, a HS enrollment survey, and celebrating staff.

Prop AA 2nd Bond Issuance This summer will see the start of our Rick Schmitt next round of major school construction projects funded by Proposition AA. Projects include demolition and reconstruction of Earl Warren Middle School, building new math and science classrooms at San Dieguito HS Academy, science classroom renovations and technology upgrades throughout Torrey Pines High School, as well as media center enhancements and other site improvements at Oak Crest Middle School. The first classroom buildings at our newest school, Pacific Trails Middle School, will also be completed over the summer to prepare for opening day this fall.

We recently issued $117 million in bonds to fund building projects for the next three years. The strength of the property values in our community and the District’s history of cautious financial management led to a credit rating upgrade for this sale. We issued only current interest bonds (no CABs) and limited the term to 25 years. This conservative strategy kept within our estimated tax rate of $25 per $100,000 of assessed value and resulted in a low payback ratio for the bonds of only 1.7 to 1, which is lower than many mortgages.

Finally, I would like to thank the Prop AA Independent Citizens Oversight Committee members who represent the community to ensure we spend bond funds cost effectively and only on projects promised to the voters. They recently completed their annual report which will be posted online at www.sduhsd.net/ICOC following Board acceptance on May 7th.

High School Enrollment Our ongoing work around high school enrollment processes continues to progress. Since March we’ve hosted six public workshops designed to both educate and seek feedback from the community about enrollment processes and options. We had over 220 K-12 parents and community members attend these workshops which shared information about the history of high school enrollment in SDUHSD, outlined state law around school enrollment, discussed the role of demographics and community facilities districts (Mello-Roos) in school enrollment, and presented various enrollment options for feedback. Over the last two weeks, we also surveyed current 8th grade students and families regarding the factors that influenced their decision in choosing a high school for 2015-16 as this data informs our thinking around future high school enrollment options and programs at our high schools.

Our next steps will be to survey our community about various options for enrolling students in our high schools.

We expect to send invitations to this online survey to families by mid-May. After receiving this feedback, we will compile the work of the High School Enrollment Study Group, the feedback from the public workshops, and the feedback from the surveys and present this information to our school board and the community this summer, giving the board time to review and discuss all of the information before making a decision about any changes in our practices or policy. If any changes occur, the earliest that would take

place would be the 2016-17 school year.

Celebrate Employees As superintendent of our world-class school district, it is important to me to recognize and celebrate our dedicated employees and the huge impact each and every one has on each student and their middle and high school experience.

Those experiences include academics, extra- and cocurricular activities and school culture. Without our employees’ tireless work and ability to adapt to our changing needs, we would not be the outstanding school district we are today.

By most any measure, a good educational experience includes staff partnering with parents to prepare students for the post-high school opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead. Every member of the SDUHSD’s team is essential to delivering the high quality education our students deserve and our San Dieguito families expect. This includes teachers, secretaries, custodians, coaches, food services staff, network technicians, counselors, bus drivers, psychologists, administrators, campus supervisors, health techs, library techs, registrars, accountants, construction managers, and many more.

SDUHSD has over one thousand part- time, full-time and seasonal employees.

Hopefully you will have an opportunity to thank an employee before the year ends. Our employees are grateful for the opportunity to work with your/our children. I know I speak for all our employees when I say, “It truly is a privilege to work for the San Dieguito Union High School District.”

What is the role of community planning boards?

What is the role of community planning boards and do they really represent the views of the community?

With all the controversy surrounding the fact that One Paseo was not approved by the local planning board, but was approved by the San Diego City Council, it is time to really examine the role and purpose of the local planning boards in our communities.

As a longtime resident of Carmel Valley, I do not recall ever voting for any representatives to our planning board.

There was no communitywide election, as is the case when a member of the San Diego City Council is seated. There were recently some vacancies on the Carmel Valley Planning Board, and as far as I could see, a few community members volunteered to fill these vacancies. It is commendable that these community residents volunteer their time to serve on these committees. As of recent, the volunteer committee members in Carmel Valley were confirmed by what seemed to be an election of just a couple of votes cast, and as such these committee members only represent their own views, which do not necessarily coincide with the views of their community.

I question why these planning groups seem to believe they have so much power and are now signing resolutions objecting to their decisions being overturned by the San Diego City Council. Community planning groups serve a purpose in bringing up issues to the community when reviewing new developments prior to city governmental actions.

We need to understand that these groups are only advisory and do not necessarily represent the desires of the entire community.

Perhaps we need to look at having communitywide elections to vote for our local community planning group representatives. Otherwise, we should keep these groups as originally intended, as advisory only.

Toxic waters: California policies The California Endangered Species Act protected Delta smelt, while billions of gallons of fresh water has been diverted from farmers and people in an effort to save them.

The lawyers demanding change said the water withheld during the winter of 2012-13 would have supplied the entire San Diego region this year. So while California cries water foul, forces me to sprinkle my body with salt shakers, and water my garden with teapots, I cry, “Hypocrites, your insane, irrational devotion to environmental nonsense has rusted your brains and ruined our lives, drained our pocketbooks, ability to live.”

Darwin explains the natural extinction of species and smelts are (drum roll) done. I’m not. To our legislators: Read more, stay home, clean up your own act, and stay out of my glowing, toxic, wet yard.

MANAGER engagement, urban design and planning, policy planning and redevelopment. Wade has been with Imperial Beach since 2001, serving as assistant city manager for the past four years.

“It’s flattering and humbling,” said Wade, who lives in South Park. “It’s a great community. I thought it was the logical next step in my career. I’m excited about it.”

Wade is active in regional planning, serving as a member of the San Diego Association of Governments’ (SANDAG) Regional Planning Technical Working Group, Shoreline Preservation Technical Working Group, Coastal Commission-Cities Working Group and Regional Housing Working Group. He is also past chairman of the San Diego Planning Directors Association.

Originally from Pasadena, Wade moved to San Diego in 1984 to attend UC San Diego. He graduated from the urban studies and planning program with a concentration in urban design and environmental studies and a minor in sociology. While at UCSD, he was a four-year varsity member of the water polo team, which led to his stint as a lifeguard for the city of San Diego and the launch of his career in public service.

Heebner said Wade is a great fit for the city because he comes from a small coastal city and has extensive experience working on local coastal issues with the California Coastal Commission and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“I think he understands the coastal community’s concern for quality of life and preserving the coastal assets that we have,” Heebner said.

Heebner noted that the city’s last three city managers have come from Imperial Beach: Barry Johnson, Ott and now Wade.

“It’s a winning trend,” she said.

When the council appointed Ott as in-

Police said Hafezi-Saghafi was jogging across the street, but one witness, David Ybarrola, said she was walking while in the crosswalk. He said in an email to U-T San Diego that he called 911 to report the accident and later talked to investigators.

The investigation is not yet complete, police traffic Sgt. Tim Underwood said Tuesday.

“These things are not fast,” Underwood said. “There is no rush to judgment.”

terim city manager in December, the council also unanimously approved a $23,750 contract with Ralph Andersen & Associates to help recruit a new city manager.

The city received 80 resumes. With the help of the consultants, the council narrowed the candidate pool to six applicants and then conducted interviews. After the interviews, Ott explained, the candidate pool was further narrowed to three finalists. After an additional round of interviews and background checks, the council started talking exclusively with Wade about a week ago, Ott said.

This was the second time the council worked with a consultant to consider candidates for the position.

In June, the council awarded a $25,000 contract to Peckham & McKenney to conduct the search for a new city manager. At that time, the city received 40 applications, Ott said. Although council members interviewed several candidates in the fall, they were not able to reach a consensus.

Wade said he did not apply for the Solana Beach city manager position last year because he was working on several projects in Imperial Beach.

“A year ago, there were so many key projects at key points in time that I just didn’t feel good about potentially leaving the city,” said Wade, who has had other opportunities in Orange, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo counties, but wanted to stay in San Diego County. “The timing this time was right. I felt better about taking on a new challenge.”

Wade’s first day with the city will be June 22, Ott said. Ott’s last day with the city will probably be June 19, he added.

Wade’s contract has yet to be made final. The council is expected to approve his contract at the May 13 council meeting.

been sent to an investigator, who will then review the facts and decide whether to send the case to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

They will be looking at factors such as the driver’s speed, road conditions, possible driving under the influence and which person had the legal right-of-way. Hafezi-Saghafi was using the only painted crosswalk at the intersection, but traffic on Del Mar Trails Road has no stop sign or traffic signal.

“You have to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, but a pedestrian can’t enter an intersection when a vehicle is an immediate hazard,” Underwood said.

ing some aging out of Carmel Valley homes, which will result in an enrollment decline at Ocean Air and Sage Canyon and an enrollment plateau at Torrey Hills.

“Ocean Air is where we will experience the most significant decline over the next six years; we’re not seeing homes turn over,” Romero said. “Families are staying in their homes for a long time and in doing so, we will recognize a decline in enrollment.”

From 786 students in 2014-15, the school is expected to shrink to 655 students by 202021.

Sage Canyon will be a little more in flux, because of new developments like Alta Del Mar. The school’s enrollment is expected to dip from 698 this year to 656 in 2015-16 and then increase to 723 students by 2016-17.

As far as enrollment trends, Romero said they are seeing a change in the district’s youngest cohort. Kindergarten classes, historically around 500 students, saw a spike two years ago with 563 students, and last year there were 541. This year will be the smallest kindergarten class in almost a decade with 490 students.

Even with enrollment increases, the district continues to stress the importance of low class sizes, Romero said. The average class size in the district this year is 21.3:1 in transitional kindergarten through third grade and 25.7:1 in grades four through six. Romero said they anticipate similar numbers next year.

ROUNDABOUT

continued from page 1

the proposed project, city staff and consultants invited input from the community at the recent scoping meeting, which is required as part of the environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act. The purpose of the meeting was to focus on what needed to be studied in the report.

The proposed roundabout would be about 100 feet in diameter with an approximately 64-foot-diameter inner circle. In addition to the roundabout, other proposed improvements at the intersection are curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, crosswalks and landscaping.

About 40 people attended the meeting, many of whom live near the proposed project.

Some attendees questioned the need for such a project and whether it was in any way tied to Watermark Del Mar, a proposed one- and two-story multifamily development project on the vacant lot at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road.

City staff was adamant that the roundabout was in no way related to other proposed projects. In fact, they said, it has been under consideration for at least two years.

“This project is not the result or required for particular development in the area,” said City Engineer Tim Thiele. “The project has been under consideration for a long period of time and was included in the city’s list of long-term capital improvement projects a couple of years ago.”

“Our community plan calls for improving our roadways to provide better access and flow for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles,” added Adam Birnbaum, the city’s planning manager.

“We know, historically, that this is an area where there certainly could be some improvements.”

Although there have not been many accidents at the intersection, Public Works Director Eric Minicilli explained that reduced speeds at the intersection would increase public safety for drivers, cyclists and walkers. The average speed of vehicles is 45 to 50 miles per hour down the segment, and pedestrians frequent the area.

With plans to extend the Coast-to-Crest Trail and River Path Del Mar in the area, foot traffic at the intersection may increase.

Minicilli pointed out how the city was able to reduce the speed limits on two segments along Camino del Mar after sidewalk and street improvements were made in the Beach Colony last year.

“There are a lot of different solutions that can be done at this intersection,” he said. “The city does have community goals, and one of the goals is to make the city a more pedestrianfriendly experience and less vehicular-focused.”

As part of the environmental impact report process, consultants will collect new traffic data and analyze previously collected data regarding traffic patterns at the intersection.

Dawn Wilson, a traffic engineer with San Diego-based transportation consulting firm Fehr and Peers, said her firm will collect data during a typical week day and weekend day. Using mostly existing data, it will also look at conditions during the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ fair and racing seasons.

In addition, the firm will take into consideration future development planned in the area, including Watermark Del Mar. “We’ll compare the operations, we’ll look at the delay, we’ll look at the queues under all those study scenarios and come back with the findings comparing those three conditions to one another,” said Wilson, noting that the study would analyze the intersection as it is; as if it had a roundabout; and as if it had a traffic signal. “We have a lot of information we’re digesting to evaluate the intersection.”

Although Wilson said data would either be new or from no more than two years ago, some attendees questioned the accuracy of the report and requested new data. Because of the report’s schedule, she explained the firm could capture new data from the fair, but probably not from the racing season.

Other residents asked her to capture data during certain hours and on certain days.

In addition to the traffic counts, some residents expressed concerns about the need for a roundabout and questioned whether the traffic-calming device would actually improve safety and traffic in the busy intersection.

“You’re going to make safety issues even more difficult,” said one attendee.

“It’s extremely dangerous for pedestrians,” said another. “Most pedestrians are there when traffic is heaviest, when something is going on at the fair.”

“I don’t want it to be worse,” added Beth Westburg, who lives off San Dieguito Drive. “I think it’s going to change the traffic pattern a lot, especially during peak hours.”

Other community members, however, were in favor of the roundabout.

“Roundabouts slow traffic, which is something we need,” said Del Mar resident Dail Peirce. “Roundabouts allow a continuous flow of traffic. They reduce accidents caused by speeding traffic, decrease noise from acceleration and increase pedestrian safety.”

Janell Vesci of Encinitas said roundabouts have improved her city.

“I love roundabouts,” she said. “They have just changed Encinitas for the better. It keeps the flow going and it stops the long lines.”

Some attendees simply asked the city to wait a bit.

“Until the Watermark property is decided and possibly even built, it seems like this might be worth delaying,” said one resident. “There are too many things that could change, so rather than rushing this through, I’d like to see it maybe delayed.”

Added resident Betty Wheeler, “It might be possible that better analytics, certainly in terms of the long-term effects, could be studied and reached if this study is delayed a bit to see how some of those other major projects are going to play out.”

The draft report is expected to be complete in June or July. The report will be available in Del Mar City Hall and the Del Mar Library, and on the city’s website. Once the report is available, there will be a 45-day public comment period.

The final report will be presented to the council in the fall.

Stoked with a purpose: CCA students organize board fundraiser for ReSurf

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy students hope to help change the world one surfer at a time, getting involved with the ReSurf Project.

CCA sophomore Kylie Bobertz, freshman Jiten Peiris, junior Elliot Cohen and senior Stephanie Sek organized a fundraising event for ReSurf, a sustainable mentorship program that teaches surfing to underprivileged children around the world. As ReSurf works with the local community to refurbish donated surfboards for at-risk youth, the foursome gave the old boards over to a talented class of CCA artists to work their magic.

The resulting 40 works of art will be on display at a fundraising event held at noon May 31 at The Melody League in Encinitas.

“We hope to connect ReSurf with the surfing community around us and help out these underprivileged kids,” said Forty reworked surfboards Kylie.

The event will feature live music from CCA band Sad will be displayed May 31 Muffin, barbecue food and live surfboard painting by artists at a fundraiser at The Melody League in from CCA and the community.

Some of the surfboards created that day and by the CCA Encinitas. art students will be auctioned off at an event in June; others will be donated to an orphanage in Baja Mexico.

The ReSurf event was the result of a project of CCA’s regional occupation program (ROP) business management class.

In the class, students learn about all aspects of running a business, work in the school café The Nest for four months and are required to form groups to start their own company.

Kylie’s group developed a fundraiser rather than a business, forming partnerships not only with ReSurf, but with the art class at school to paint the surfboards.

“Getting the class to do it was pretty easy; Ms. Jackson loved the idea,” Kylie said of the 40 eye-catching surfboards created by Angela Jackson’s Envision visual art class.

Kylie said the most challenging part of their project was coordinating the event in between their busy schedules as teenagers.

Melody League is at 1057 S. Coast Highway 101. For information, e-mail ccartistforResurf@gmail.com.

BY JARED WHITLOCK A New York Times bestselling author, Eric Blehm is known for telling the stories of those who serve.

His latest, “Legend,” recounts the experiences of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez, who rescued fellow soldiers trapped behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War. While now a well-regarded military biographer, Blehm got his start in journalism as the editor of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. It was a fitting job for the avid surfer and snowboarder, who grew up locally.

Considering Blehm’s grasp of elite special operations, it may surprise some to learn that he was never in the military.

“The closest I ever got to the military is when I was in school and keeping my hair cropped really short so I could drive past the guards at Pendleton and surf Del Mar jetties,” Blehm said of his youth.

But he always had a deep respect for those in uniform, thanks to his parents. As a kid, his mom would share mementos from World War II to remind him of soldiers’ sacrifices.

“They would always say, ‘The reason we have this freedom is people put their lives on the line so we could enjoy this life,” he said.

After 9/11, Blehm knew he wanted to document the lives of those who serve.

“I asked myself, ‘What’s your part in all of this?

What can you do? Being a writer and an author, I thought, ‘History is happening now. I have to chronicle this.’ And at that point, they were talking a lot about the World War II veterans that were passing away. A lot of them never talked about their experiences.

That struck me.”

His previous book, “Fearless,” tells the real-life story of Adam Brown, who overcame drug addiction and even jail time to accomplish his childhood dream of becoming a Navy SEAL.

Local author Eric Blehm’s latest book, “Legend,” is about Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez. “His story is the most fascinating, unbelievable story I’ve ever, ever come across.”

“Fearless” has sold nearly 400,000 copies and is being turned into a Hollywood film.

When Blehm came across Benavidez’s story, he knew he had his next book.

“His story is the most fascinating, unbelievable story I’ve ever, ever come across,” Blehm said. “When I did my research and saw it was true, I just had to write it.”

A brief overview of the day that made Benavidez a legend: Flown into battle on May 2, 1968, Benavidez jumped from a hovering helicopter and ran 100 yards through enemy fire.

Even though wounded, he reached the perimeter of a decimated special forces team. Providing medical care and encouragement, he spearheaded a defense and rescue effort.

Benavidez persevered through bullet, bayonet and shrapnel wounds that day to rescue fellow soldiers in a now-declassified battle. Eventually, his acts of valor earned him the Medal of Honor.

His humble beginnings add to his legendary reputation.

Orphaned at age 7, he was raised by his aunt and uncle in a small Texas town. As a child, he picked cotton alongside his family after school. And being of Mexican and Yaqui Indian ancestry, Benavidez also faced prejudice and racism.

Blehm said the May 2 mission, the crux of the story, is in many ways a microcosm of the Vietnam War. “By wrapping around the people, the politics — the good, the bad and the ugly of this mission — you get a really strong look at the Vietnam war,” he said.

Blehm said another reason he wrote the book was to give young people a stronger understanding of the Vietnam War, adding that some school history books gloss over it.

On the same note, “Legend” also debunks common misconceptions about Vietnam War veterans. For instance, that they were all draftees who didn’t believe in what they were fighting for.

The book, he stated, is neither “pro war or anti-war — it’s just war.”

“It’s raw, it’s bloody and it’s real,” Blehm said.

It took Blehm two years to research and write “Legend.”

To give a complete picture of Benavidez’s life, Blehm combed through countless declassified documents, carefully looked over boxes of Benavidez family letters and interviewed those who witnessed his courageous acts.

“I want to preserve these stories for future generations,” Blehm said. “Their stories and legacies are a way people can learn — it’s a window into history.”

American folk art treasures find breathing room at Mingei

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park’s latest exhibition, “Self-Taught Genius,” is a tribute to three centuries of American creativity. This selection of 100-plus treasures from the American Folk Art Museum in New York is on a five-city national tour, and the Mingei is its only West Coast stop.

“Self-Taught Genius” features a range of media and styles that will knock your socks off, if you’re wearing socks. Standing before an eight-foot-tall model of the Empire State Building, meticulously crafted out of tiny, interlocking blocks of wood by an unidentified artist, one visitor exclaimed: “I can’t believe no one knows who did this!”

“The story is, it was made by an ironworker who actually worked on the building, that he made it in his New Jersey basement, but we’re not really certain,” said Stacy Hollander, the exhibit’s lead curator, who flew in for the Mingei members’ opening April 17. “We just know it was done before the antenna was added, because the piece has no antenna. And there are no nails or glue holding it together. It’s an amazing feat!”

Hollander, who started as an intern at the American Folk Art Museum 27 years ago and is now senior curator and director of exhibitions, came up with the concept for “Self-Taught Genius.”

“Self-taught doesn’t mean untaught,” she explained. “These artists are as masterful as any fine artists. And once we had the concept, the art works kind of selected themselves.”

She said the exhibit, first shown in New York and then at the Figge Art Museum in Iowa, Flag Gate by unidentified artist, circa 1876 “takes on a different kind of life in each space, since we allow each institution a lot of flexibility in how they arrange the pieces. And it’s very exciting now to see it here.”

The Folk Art Museum’s executive director, Anne-Imelda Radice, also at the Mingei opening, agreed. “I love this institution, and I think the director is one of the best in the country,” she said. “I’m on the board of trustees here, which is very unusual for a museum director, but I’m proud of it, and we hope to be doing other projects together in the future.”

The exhibit is beautifully presented, taking over almost the whole second floor. “These

Art couples Ryan Hietbrink and Christine Knoke (Mingei chief curator/director of exhibitions), and Gayle Kauihou and Dave Hampton (mid-century art curator), with a piece by Mary Smith from one of her “yard shows.” Photos by Maurice Hewitt are iconic pieces, so we gave them as much space as possible,” Mingei director Rob Sidner said. “They needed breathing room.”

He added that they borrowed extensively from the Folk Art Museum for their inaugural show in Balboa Park in 1996.

Founded in 1978 by Martha Longenecker, who developed the ceramics department at SDSU, the Mingei was originally located in University Town Center. Its name, meaning “art of the people,” was coined by one of her mentors, Japanese art historian Soetsu Yanagi, who believed in the importance of art “made by the many for the many.” In 2006, when Longenecker retired as director, Sidner, on staff since 1993, took over. He has greatly expanded the museum’s budget and collection ever since.

The Mingei now has about 120,000 visitors a year, including 8,000 schoolchildren. “In today’s culture, so focused on celebrity and what things cost, we encourage discovery, finding beauty for yourself in the things around you,” Sidner said. “We show art that integrates head, heart and hands, because that’s what we’re all trying to do, become whole human beings.”

“Self-Taught Genius: Treasures from the American Folk Art Museum” is on view through Aug. 16 at the Mingei International Museum, 1439 El Prado, Balboa Park. The museum is open 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Admission: $7-$10 (free on third Tuesdays).

Young Del Mar actor wins part in ‘Singin’ Conner’s Cause for Children Benefit in the Rain’ with SD Musical Theatre Golf Classic to be held May 14

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jordi Bertran first saw the film “Singin’ in the Rain” when he was just 8 years old. Five years later, the young Del Mar actor is slated to appear as “Young Don” in San Diego Musical Theatre’s stage production of the well-known musical May 22 through June 7 at the Spreckels Theatre in downtown San Diego.

“I watched the movie when I was little and I fell in love with it,” said 13-year-old Jordi, an eighth-grader at The Rhoades School in Encinitas. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to be in this production.”

A triple threat, Jordi has performed nearly his whole life.

Beginning with gymnastics when he was just 2 years old, JorJordi Bertran di is a trained dancer, gymnast, martial artist and pianist.

Jordi started acting when he was in third grade. He played Boo Who in “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” at The Old Globe Theater.

He has since performed in more than a dozen productions, including “Les Misérables,” “Lord of the Flies,” “Shrek the Musical” and “The Winter’s Tale.”

“I like being able to be someone you might not be able to be in real life,” Jordi said.

“You can fight dragons through theater, you can save the world through theater — you can do anything through theater.”

Directed by Todd Nielsen, “Singin’ in the Rain” is set in 1920s Hollywood as the silentscreen era gives way to talkies. The screenplay is by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, with songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed.

“Every song is upbeat — even the sad songs,” Jordi said. “I just think that it’s a very uplifting musical. It has a little piece for everyone to take with them after the show.”

Kid-friendly ‘Touch A Truck’ fundraiser returns to Carmel Valley May 31

2015

Calling All Soccer Players – It’s Time for Camp!

Online Registration is now open for Rancho Santa Fe Attack’s Summer Recreational Soccer Camps. More information on the camps can be found on the League website at www.rsfsoccer.com.

This summer the camps will all be held in Rancho Santa Fe. These camps are designed for all players who want to have FUN while working on their technical ability and improving their skills. The camp is open to all ages and will be conducted by Attack Director of Coaching Malcolm Tovey and his professional staff.

Questions about the camps can be directed to the League office at 760.479.1500 or by emailing Marilee@rsfsoccer.com.

Kids can get the chance to climb inside some of their favorite vehicles as Touch A Truck returns to Carmel Valley’s Canyon Crest Academy.

The event, which raises money to help fight children’s cancer, will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 31.

Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seats of vehicles big and small. This year’s event features nearly 100 race cars, hot rods, motorcycles, military, construction, off-road and emergency response ve- Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driver’s hicles.

The first Touch A Truck was held in 2009 at Canyon Crest Academy, less than a year after the event’s inspiration, Max Mikulak, died at age 7 from neuroblastoma — a common cancer that mostly affects children under age 5. Max attended Solana Highlands Elementary, and his favorite things, besides his teacher and friends at school, were trucks, “Star Wars,” World War II, skateboards, bugs and Legos. When his parents started the Max’s Ring of Fire Childhood Cancer Foundation, to continue to pursue a cure for childhood cancers like the one that took their son, they came up with the idea of a car show for kids.

“The owners who bring their vehicles are amazing people who love our cause, and are happy to open up their hearts and expensive machinery, knowing how much happiness they bring to the kids at the event,” said Melissa Mikulak, Max’s mom.

Besides vehicle displays, kids will find “Star Wars” characters, a 200-foot zipline, laser tag, face painting, food trucks, games, a stagecoach, a raffle, and local youth bands.

“Thanks to the support of the greater San Diego community, and Carmel Valley in particular, Touch A Truck has been an amazing success and we’ve raised over $220,000,” said Mikulak. “We are hoping to increase that total to $300K with this year’s event.”

All the money raised helps support the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium. Buy tickets at www.TouchATruckSD.com or call 858-621-FIRE. Fundraising for free admission and cool prizes is also available.

Serve French toast, s’il vous plaît, for Mother’s Day smiles The Kitchen Shrink

corded recipes comes out of a 5th-century Roman cookbook by Apicius for “Pan Dulcis.” The simple method starts with cutting the crust off white bread and breaking the bread into large chunks, which are then soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, fried in oil or butter, and drizzled with honey.

As most culinary interchanges so common among European nations, French toast recipes filtered through the borders over the years from ancient Rome to Spain, Germany, and even the court of Henry V. And yes, the French adapted a version that salvaged stale bread called pain perdu (lost or wasted bread) that would otherwise be thrown out.

Quel dommage! Eventually, the recipe crossed the ocean and appeared on Mother’s Day menus in the United States.

An 18th-century innkeeper in Albany, N.Y., having inherited the fortuitous last name of “French,” thought the fried egg toast might be an ornamental addition to his menu. Joseph

KITCHEN SHRINK CATHARINE KAUFMAN This Sunday, mothers across the land — biological, adoptive, foster or step — will be honored, pampered and treasured in appreciation for their years of eternal love, caring, devotion, assorted zookeeping duties, and worrying.

French toast, the quintessential Mother’s Day dish for breakfast in bed or brunch, is universally enjoyed by moms of all ages, cultures and nationalities.

Although French toast is not exactly French (having started in Rome), it is a sophisticated and divine treat reminiscent of Paris in the spring.

One of the earliest re-

Try your French toast with almond butter and jelly sandwiched inside.

French intended to call it “French’s toast,” but having forgotten to add the apostrophe “s,” he unwittingly unleashed French toast upon the American public.

This might be an apocryphal story, but it’s a fun one anyway.

Today, countries around the world have rejiggered the sweet, simple recipe to incorporate regional tastes, culinary customs and ingredients. In Britain, “Eggy Bread,” “Gypsy Toast” or “Poor Knights of Windsor,”

is served crisp for brekkie with a side of grilled tomatoes or fresh berries. The Scots sandwich sausages between two pieces of French toast. In Italy, mozzarella cheese is melted between two slices of the egg-dipped toast and dredged in tomato sauce with more cheese sprinkled on top, called Mozzarella in Carrozza.

India also has a savory version fried with chopped onions and green chilies served with a drizzle of ketchup. Spain offers Torrijas for an Easter dessert, soaking thick slices of bread in wine, dipping in beaten egg, then frying in butter and topping with honey and cinnamon. The Sri Lankans and Burmese whip up Bombay Toast sandwiches, filling two crispy slices of French toast with a concoction of mashed potatoes and spicy green chutney.

Our neighbors to the north slather the dish in pure Canadian maple syrup, ehh, while the French still whip up pain perdu, but now bake it with a rich, custardy egg and cream base, a splash of Grand Marnier and sprinkle of orange zest for a type of puffy crème brûlée bread pudding extravaganza.

ALMOND BUTTER AND JELLY FRENCH TOAST 4 large eggs 3/4 cup almond milk 1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Dash of nutmeg 1/2 cup smooth or crunchy organic almond butter 1/2 cup organic fruit preserves (apricot, strawberry, raspberry, your choice) 8 slices of thick-cut egg bread (challah) or brioche 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Confectioners sugar Method: In shallow mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, extract, cinnamon and nutmeg until well blended.

Spread almond butter and jam or preserves on four slices of bread and top with the other slices, making four sandwiches.

Soak the sandwiches in the egg mixture.

Heat a griddle or fry pan on low, and melt the butter in it. Place the sandwiches on the griddle surface and cook until golden on both sides. Garnish with toasted almonds and powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately. (Serves 4)

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difficult, if not impossible.

In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head first onto icy pavement.

“My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred.

Although she brushed off the accident at first, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work.

Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches.

“My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position.

I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand.

Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a

trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury.

“It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.”

Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands.

Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year).

Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions.

There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness.

“I think we are in... one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin.

“But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’”

As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to find a reasonable solution.
